What the Prez Sez:
A message from ALL President, Ted Anderson:
Marilyn MacCaughey recently resigned as Chair of the Membership Committee after seven years of dedicated service. Many thanks to Marilyn for her faithful service! She was a pleasure to work with and will be missed. I would like to note that Mariyln was given a resounding and well deserved round of applause at the most recent board meeting.
During Marilyn's tenure, membership more than doubled to 540 members. Adventures in LifeLong Learning (ALL) started with 40 members some 16 years ago, and in recent years has experienced explosive growth, due in part to the passage of the baby boomers into retirement, but also due to the high quality of the overall ALL programs, as planned and executed by YOU, the membership, all of whom are volunteers. SUSTAINING the high quality of our programs may become increasingly more difficult as membership increases. So far, so good, but changes in the way we communicate and are organized may appear on the horizon.
A UW-P student group is currently embarking on a study of our organization. This group will examine how we communicate and how we go about setting and accomplishing our objectives. Our organizational profile will be compared and contrasted to other non-profit organizations. In the end, the study group may offer recommendations for further consideration by your board of directors.

AUDIO-VISUAL COMMITTEE Larry Gregg: [email protected]
Jarlene Kriehn: [email protected]
Our committee is responsible for helping with equipment setups for classes, and many of the classes are using our ALL equipment. This means we could use a couple more people who would be willing to learn the system setup to help the
Class Committee members and the instructors with equipment needs. Contact Jarlene if you would like more information or to volunteer.

DAY TRIP COMMITTEE Julie Rae Friedman: 942.7113, [email protected]
Martha Krimmer: 554.8122, [email protected] Oh, we’ve been busy! September 4, Art and Food Trip to the Grohmann Museum at the MSOE (a real gem; go and see it), and then a delicious progressive lunch with Milwaukee Food Tours. September 30 we visited the Milwaukee Zoo and had the opportunity to go “back stage” to see how they feed and care for the animals. A
ride on the Zoo Mobile, a history talk, and an ALL American picnic lunch completed the day. On October 22 we saw the Milwaukee Rep’s version of “The Color Purple” with lunch at the Intercontinental Hotel. Coming Up November 25: “200 Years of the Star Spangled Banner” in song and story by Gregory Berg at the Recital Hall, Carthage College 1- 3 PM December 3: Our Holiday Trip is to Milwaukee for the Cirque Musica at the Performing Arts Center. This performance is conducted by Francesco Lecce-Chong. “Hear holiday favorites by the majestic Cirque Musica. Stunning aerial feats, strongmen and mind boggling contortionists will take your breath away in this ultimate holiday extravaganza.” Dinner will be in the Green Room at the PAC. We take a break in the winter – traveling is iffy with our winter weather, but we are planning a couple of local day trips. Watch for flyers. Spring Trips March 13: “Midsummer Night’s Dream” at UW-Parkside. 10 AM matinee performance. Our annual visit with Shakespeare. April 18: Two Casablancas. We will see the classic film, “Casablanca” at the Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra playing the score. Bogie and Bergman. “Play it again, Sam” – do you remember? We’ll have dinner at the Casablanca restaurant – superior mid-eastern food. Another Adventure in Ethnic Dining!
November 2014 ALL Points Bulletin - 3 -
April 29: “Jeeves Takes a Bow” Once again our angel, Don Cress, has given us 50 tickets for the matinee performance of “Jeeves” – Margaret Raether’s third adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse stories at the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre. We are always looking for new committee members to help us plan and implement day trips. Call Martha or Julie if interested.

LECTURE COMMITTEE Mac McCaughey: [email protected]
Lectures at 2 PM in the Parkside Student Cinema Your Lecture Committee members have been scratching our heads and utilizing all our many contacts to bring you more creative lectures for the first half of next year. So far we know we will learn about human trafficking, recycling plastics, and climate change from a professor who wrote a book on the subject, "Part II" from our own Chicago newspaper reporter, and our
now annual update on student research at Parkside. And there will be more. Some potential speakers have difficulty committing to a date half a year or more in the future, but we keep at them and most are able to handle this. They hear from previous
speakers that we make a pretty good audience, as we come because we want to, stay awake most of the time, and have really good questions. Speakers like our “Thank You” pens, too! A nice ball point pen in a little pouch is all we ever give to a speaker who has done research on a subject, often created a PowerPoint presentation, and then responds to all kinds of questions we direct to him/her after an hour’s presentation. The pen even does a bit of advertising, as it has our ALL name and Parkside’s logo on it. Not a bad price to pay for the great products we get!
Upcoming lectures November 3: “Pilgrimage to Tibet and Nepal” by Nick Cibrario. Mr. Cibrario received a BA
from UW-LaCrosse and a Master of Science from the College of Racine. Frequent travels to these fascinating countries provided Cibrario with material for several books he’s written since retiring as an English and Latin teacher in Racine. He’ll share his Asian travel experiences and photos with us. November 17: “The Challenges and Opportunities of Operating a Major League Baseball Team” with Rick Schlesinger, Chief Operating Officer, Milwaukee Brewers. Under Mr. Schlesinger’s guidance, the Brewers have eclipsed records in nearly every aspect of the business, with attendance for home games increasing from 1.7 million in 2003 to over 2.88 million over the past seven seasons. Efforts to improve fan experiences have generated an ESPN fan vote that rated Miller Park as “Major
Symphony: Don’t forget the Prelude Series at the Milwaukee Symphony. The remaining concerts are on the following Fridays: Nov. 21, 2014, Feb. 27, 2015, April 10, 2015 and May 1, 2015. For information on single tickets if there is a cancellation, contact Bev Friedrich at 633.2304, or [email protected] or Darleen Chiappetta, 654.0177

League Baseball’s Best Ballpark.” The Brewers Community Foundation, Inc. (BCF) continues fundraising efforts to benefit area causes.
January 12: “Human Trafficking” presented by three members of the Racine Coalition Against Human Trafficking, a group working to bridge the gap between initial police contact and post services for victims of human trafficking. Karri Hemmig is the founder of the Coalition; Rachel Harrison has spoken at conferences about human trafficking; and Neal Lofy, an investigator with the Racine Police Department, is involved with a collaborative effort between local and federal law enforcement agencies dealing with human trafficking. January 26: Jeff Timm, one of our ALL members, will discuss recycling plastics, why some can be recycled and not others, and what is done with the materials that are recycled. February 16: Parkside’s Professor Mark Borucki will speak on the timely issue of climate change. This lecture came about when Mac MacCaughey (the chair of the lecture committee) stopped at the Educators Credit Union in the Student Center and saw a book on climate change laying on a table. It turns out that the man at the ECU counter had written the book, teaches a course on the subject, and said he’d give a lecture to us. We never know when or where our next opportunity will present itself!
MEMBERSHIP SERVICES COMMITTEE Marion Sperer: 634.0336, [email protected]
Many, many thanks to Marilyn MacCaughey who recently retired as co-chair of our Membership Committee – a position she’s aptly
held for over seven years! We’ve benefited greatly as her background in social work, excellent public speaking skills, and gentle and thoughtful leadership made her ideal for the job. Our hat’s off to Marilyn!
Always growing: we have 540 members as of the beginning of October. There will be a Meet & Greet for new members on November 17th at 10 AM in the Orchard Room of Tallent Hall. This is the best opportunity for all of our new members to get answers to any of their burning questions about ALL in general, and more about our lectures, classes, and day trips specifically. The heads of many of our focus groups will also be available, so learn more, pick your favorite(s) and sign up. Plus you’ll fill in a resource preference list to help us help other new members in the future.
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Karen Kempinen: 945.2091 [email protected]

Current Affairs meets every 3rd Monday, at 12
PM in Tallent Hall, where we continue to solve
the problems of the day. We search for
solutions that seem to elude leading politicians,
economists, and leaders in business, labor and
education. We attack local, state, national, and
international issues, all with equal gusto. And
we generate a better understanding of the
issues due to the diversity of our participants.
Simply put: we learn from each other. You are
invited to join us. We think you will enjoy
participating in our spirited discussions.
DUPLICATE BRIDGE Patti Gross: 658.8849 [email protected]

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FRIENDSHIP Linda Burch: [email protected] Jim Burch: 948.9249
If you want to the make the world a better place and meet bright, interesting young people from other countries, this is the group for you. Members are involved only as much as they want to be – no set duties or time requirements, only a friendly spirit and desire to promote international goodwill. You can offer shopping, transportation, a home-cooked meal, or cultural adventures, etc. The International Friendship Committee meetings for first semester are on one Wednesday each month at 10:30 in Greenquist 210, followed by Friendship Hours with students from Parkside International Club at noon in Molinaro D127. Meeting dates are subject to change based on various student activities. In August, we welcomed many new students from Africa, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Mexico, China, India, South Korea, Australia, etc. Our members helped students get acquainted with the area, took them shopping for groceries, phones, and bedding, and provided great hospitality in many forms. The International Friendship Picnic, generously sponsored by ALL on September 20th was a great success. Students, Parkside staff, and ALL members enjoyed a lunch catered by Danny’s, with members providing homemade desserts. Dancing was enjoyed by young and old. Several Friendship members enjoyed visiting with six Colombian professors who were at Parkside in September/October. We hosted them in our homes, took them on tours of

Kenosha, Milwaukee, Lake Geneva and Chicago. Courtesy of our members, they also visited local restaurants and tried line dancing, shopping, an apple farm, an open mic, and a pumpkin farm. To join or for more information and to get on our list of instructions and reminders, email Linda, or if no email, please phone Jim Burch.
OVER THE HILL HIKERS Wren Ide: [email protected], 694.1046 The Over-The-Hill Hikers recently
completed the hiking season for this year. Spring weather delayed our seasons start, but as weather improved, so did our schedule!
Volunteers take turns leading hikes for the group. The Racine Journal Times recently featured the ALL hiking group in this front-page photo. The caption explained that Marge Miller and Wayne Johnson were scouting out some trails the day before an Over-The-Hill hiking excursion. The hike went through the woods of Colonial and Lincoln Parks, and included an interesting tour of the Root River Steelhead fish weir by a DNR rep.
POETRY Ron Story: [email protected], 577.5864
The poetry focus group meets the second Monday of each month to discuss a number of poems. No one in the group is an expert, but everyone enjoys a spirited discussion. New members are very welcome.
SOCIAL BRIDGE Patti Gross: 658.8849: [email protected]
The ALL Social Bridge focus group is an enthusiastic group of bridge players who strive to improve bridge skills while practicing strategies in a friendly atmosphere in the Tallent Hall break room Thursdays from 1:30-3:30 PM.

Jarlene Kriehn: [email protected], 948-0836
Our group started as a 3-session computer class, and then we decided to meet monthly (except holidays and lecture days) to learn about all things technology. ALL members with any degree of technical ability are welcome. We share what we know, ask questions, schedule speakers on specific topics, and call on members to present information about their interests. No reservations needed. Contact Jarlene to get on the email for meeting reminders and topics. Our next regular meeting is scheduled for November 24. The topic is computer security, plus forums or boards that we can use as a communication tool for our group. We will also talk definitions and how-to. NO December meeting. Tip of the Day: Kim Komando’s article in USA Today, “Three Ways Crooks Attack You Using Public Wi-Fi” says that free public Wi-Fi can come with a price. The article discusses key security issues: 1) Honeypot Wi-Fi networks where crooks set up open networks that might actually be hacker-run routers, and may even be named like a near-by business. 2) Packet Sniffing, when you send and receive data over the Internet, the information is sent in millions of tiny packets. “Packet sniffing just means that hackers are intercepting these packets and reading them to see what you're doing.” 3) Shared Folders. “Most people use Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet. It's easy to
November 2014 ALL Points Bulletin - 8 -
forget that the whole point of networking is sharing information between computers or gadgets on the same network. If your gadget is set to automatically share folders, then anyone – not just hackers – can see what you're sharing.” To learn more about these topics, follow this link: http://usat.ly/1xxo255

HIGHLIGHT ON. . . INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP Since students are now back on
campus, we’re looking at ALL’s International Friendship Group (IFG) in this highlight article.
In spring 2003, UWP’s Center for International Studies requested help in introducing new international students to the Kenosha/Racine
area. Helen Raymond became the first chair, followed by Harry Ireland and Frank Klein. Jim and Linda Burch took over the group in 2007.
As a former high school teacher, Linda led overseas student trips and enjoyed working with the exchange students, realizing that travel affords students exciting and memorable educational opportunities. But when Linda became profoundly hearing impaired late in life and stopped teaching, she missed making a difference in the world every day.
With her background of semantics and media analysis, Linda wanted to help dispel stereotypes and misconceptions about cultures, customs, and religions. Jim traveled extensively for an international business, building many lifelong, rewarding relationships. So they knew the ALL International Friendship Group would be a good fit for them.
Both Linda and Jim are passionate about world travel, cultures, and international friendships. Their son, an opera singer and a violinist, traveled for performances in school. His most vivid travel memories involved the kindness of local people, and the “real” experiences they offered him. Linda and Jim want to give the same types of memories to young people from other countries. They are still in touch with former international students, many of whom have since gone on to great success in their own countries and beyond. Many of them consider Jim and Linda to be their American parents.
In September about 70 people attended the IFG Picnic, made possible through funding generously provided by the ALL board, and set up by ALL members Linda and Jim, Nat Cycenas, Kam Buhler, Pam Drummond, Patti Gross, Joyce Gyurina, Ann Gurnack, Janet Mrazek, Vera Schalk, and Debbie Wiersum (plus these nice folks made dessert for everyone).
UWP students (pictured above) hail from Austria, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Korea, Mexico and Spain. They enjoyed an outdoor potluck of typical American foods, plus games and folk dancing. Other supporters included UWP’s International Club, international students from Carthage, and supporting faculty and staff from both campuses.
Some of Jim and Linda’s fondest memories involve cooking ethnic dinners with students, sharing food and cultures. “The students are so grateful for anything we do for them. They do not drive, there is scarce public transportation, and they are really isolated at Parkside without us, especially at the beginning of their stays.”
Linda and Jim are especially grateful to Consuelo Clemens, who is ALL’s vital link to UW-Parkside, and to the ALL International Friendship Group members for their outstanding work, generosity, and willingness to serve. However, they only have about 10 active members and need more! All it takes is an open heart and a desire to make our corner of the world a better place. Join other ALL volunteers in supporting our international students by providing transportation, help with shopping, and taking them on local trips to sports and music events, or hosting holiday parties. Fun for ALL.

WE WANT YOUR ALL ACTION PHOTOS!
When you’re on an ALL adventure and snap some great shots with your digital camera, why not share them with us? We’re starting a photo gallery and could use a few of your best photos – particularly those showing ALL members engaged in some sort of activity (rather than just sitting at a table, for instance). Be sure to include a short note with “who, what, where, and when” info.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interesting Facts
Road Scholar’s Lifelong Learning Institute (like our ALL group) conducted a survey of its member organizations in 2014. Here are a few highlight findings from that survey. To view the entire survey, go to: http://tinyurl.com/kr273m9
24% of the LLIs have 301 to 500 paid
members, 22% have up to 1,000 paid
members, and not quite 4% have
memberships of 2,000+.
People in their 70s account for 31-40% of
all memberships, while 21-30% are in
their 60s, 11-20% are in their 80s, and
the rest are either in their 50s or 90s.
86% of new members heard about their
LLI group through word-of-mouth. The
next most effective way to get new
members is through free media/PR
releases.
In a few months, individual members of LLI’s will be asked to participate in a new survey that will focus on creating a profile of the demographics, interests, and attitudes of rank-and-file LLI members. Participation is anonymous and voluntary, but we hope you will participate. Stay tuned for an update on the new survey in a few months.
